CSN, CCR... Hmmm, how about GNG? Figured it was easier than trying to learn how to say a last name that has no vowels.

I play dead sometimes, but rarely live.

Incredible! The idea that anyone can write a song, record it on a computer, and release it to the masses is fantastic. I love the feedback, too, so email me if you hear a song you like.

Absolutely. I just finished my third CD called SUMMER'S CALLING. If you want a copy, email me at SanDiegoNg@roadrunner.com for more info. It's cheap! I only want to cover my costs and share the music.

On Valentines Day 2003 my wife surprised me with some Cakewalk recording software. I looked around and saw that I had a ton of guitars just lying around. So I set off on a goal to write 12 songs and release my own CD. I had never written a complete song before, never sang into a mic before, never recorded music before. Basically, I had no clue what I was doing. But the songs, good and bad, kept popping into my head and 14 songs and 9 months later, I finally have enough songs to release my first CD "Nobody's Perfect". Listening to that CD now, man, it's really rough in spots, but some great songs - Old Surfers Rule still rocks in an analog sort of way, and Life in an SUV is still one of my favorites to play live.

My second CD, Gone Coastal, was written during a tough time. Lots of crummy stuff happening in my life, but the cool thing is that I was able to channel all the negative energy into some great positive songs. I also learned how to play the ukulele, so some new textures and my production and "sound" came together.

I'm JUST finished my latest CD, SUMMER'S CALLING! I'm working on the cover right now and will have it out to the masses in just a bit. If you've already downloaded the mp3's, you'll still want this album as it features all new mixes and some new lead vocals. It's totally cool, if I do say so myself!

The Beatles. The Beach Boys. The Monkees. The Turtles. CSN. Marshall Crenshaw. The Jayhawks and the whole alt-country thing. If it's got a melody and some harmonies, I like it.

San Diego is my home.... but hey, Maui is pretty damn nice, too.

Taylor acoustic guitars, Fender Tele and Strat, Lanikai ukulele, Squire Bass (don't laugh at me, it's all I got), Fender mandolin, a bunch of harmonicas and percussion stuff, Roland Vdrums, Cakewalk GuitarTracks Pro software, SmartLoops for drumloops, and Shure / Sennheiser mics.

What do you have to lose? If you like harmonies and simple music you can hum to, or if you like surf instrumentals (songs I never wrote lyrics to), you'll like my stuff! Click away and listen to my songs.
